ab exercises!
*I did already search on MFP about this, I just didn't find what I needed!* I have an issue with my lower back (it feels like my spine is cracking--almost like cracking your knuckles) that makes crunches and leg lifts painful. I am adding planks tomorrow to the routine, but I doubt I can hold it for very long... what are…

hey guys, the name's Gaia! I'm a 20 year old college student who REALLY wants to rock a bikini and a dress next summer!! I'm not planning to start until wednesday or thursday, so I can do the workouts from home (and NOT listen to my downer squad) before I leave for classes in the morning. I haven't *quite* worked out the…

increasing intensity over time
I currently do intervals on the treadmill/elliptical at the gym, I started out doing 1 minute as hard as I could, then 1 minute rest, etc. and add a minute every week or two to the intense part, and leave the rest time at about a minute. currently, i can do 2-3 minutes at higher speed and resistance for around a half hour…

Sciatic Nerve injury--help?
I'm having a problem with my right leg lately, and I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar injury. from anatomy classes, I believe it is dealing with the sciatic nerve (from lower back/tailbone area to your ankle) almost a year ago, while wrestling with my 250+ ex-boyfriend, I tried to push him up with my legs and…

Home Workouts? Routines?
I haven't seen anything on here about what you do for home exercises. I figure this can be a thread if anyone wants to try something to do. anyway, I usually do a modified bodyweight exercise from bodyrock.tv, or I find some zumba from youtube. When I'm at college, I will do 20min of cardio at the gym, then come home and…

I am Mindi, and I am proudly Bisexual. I would date a girl just as soon as I would a guy, and I see no problem with this, no matter what others say. it'll be nice to get a little more emotional support on here, as well as for health =3

Looking for a companion, instead of a Husband/Wife?
Am I weird for this? most people are afraid of ending up alone, but I would rather just have a house mate than dating. Less complicated, relaxed, and you aren't 'technically' alone.

It's that time of year again: halloween, thanksgiving, and christmas! not to mention others, if you're not the traditional american atheist! I'm they type of person who says "I'll just eat one piece/serving/'slice", then two hours later, "I'll just eat one piece/serving/slice." Any tips to surviving the binge? here's some…

Videos and no-equipment exercises!
I need some for every area basically. I can do dips for triceps, I can do leg raises, twists and planks for back and abs, lunges for butt and legs, and I can do push ups for arms and upper back. the only things I have to use is a metal bed frame, a chair and a little floor space (maybe 6 feet square, just enough to stretch…

favorite wierd food combinations?
Wondering who has a favorite food combination that's semi-wierd--ex, I like carrots and peanut butter, I'll usually eat 18 baby carrots with 2 tbsp peanut butter as a snack or meal. or mashed potatoes and ketchup? eggs and ketchup? It doesn't have to be healthy!

College classes--what kind of exercise?
I am taking a large animal nursing class, which includes anything from horses and cattle to chickens, from restraint to mucking to feeding. I have no experience with these animals outside my classes, so working with these animals makes me sweat A LOT most days. This should count as exercise right? but as what? my heart…

hour long zumba basics!
searching online, I found an hour long zumba video showing basics! i noticed there was lag at the first minute or so, the quality is kinda sucky, and I haven't gone thru the entire thing yet either. fyi: not my video!!! http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjAyNDYwMTY0.html

mp3 interval timer?
I'm sorry if this is a repeat! I know you could break up a song into tiny sections, but is it possible to just insert a beep into the song as a whole? otherwise, I need a 'song' timer. I don't want to buy one, and I don't like to stare at the timer on a machine as it breaks concentration. I have an ipod nano, so apps don't…

Homemade exercise equipment!
I was doing a search today out of boredom, and I thought this would be great! Make a cheap kettlebell using a milk or juice jug. Fill a clean, plastic gallon jug or 2 liter bottle (the kind with a handle) with water. Now it is ready for use it as a kettlebell or an arm weight. Use canned goods that fit in your hands as…

Wierd reaction to exercise?
Whenever I exercise, whether a hard day of weight training or just a walk, within an hour or so I get really shaky, ravenous, light headed, and almost sick, unless I eat something within that hour. I did a light 2 mile walk today, then shot some hoops with my 12 year old brother until 3:30. 45 minutes later I was shaking…

Hey guys! Vegetarian and new to MFP!
HI! My name's Mindi, and I'm a sophomore at SUNY Delhi to be a Vet Tech. I want to lose weight, and also gain muscle, because my career wants me to be able to pick up a squirming dog of many sizes and breeds, and also restrain any type of animal that comes in. I used to do karate until i was 13, and i miss being strong and…
